Dear Mr. Salinger,

I am writing to inform you of my intent to resign from my position as payroll specialist with Magnum Industries. My official last day of employment will be April 28, 2015. I have decided to move on after being offered a position as payroll supervisor with another local company, which is an advancement that will help my career to grow.

I have found my employment here to be quite rewarding and thank you for the opportunity to learn on the job. My co-workers have been nothing but wonderful, and I will miss everyone quite a bit.

Please know that I intend to assist in any way possible to ensure that my leaving goes smoothly, and I’m happy to help in any way I can. In addition, all of my assignments and paperwork will be completed before my final day, and my personal belongings will be removed from my office. Should you need to be in touch, you can always reach out by phone at (555) 987-1234 or by email at stacy@richardson.com.
